Synopsis:
The grand concert is about to begin, but the stage manager responsible for ensuring everything is ready is restless. A group of strange Quixotic beings takes over the stage and drags a person from the audience, who ends up transforming into Quixote. Thus begins an adventure full of illusion and fantasy, where windmills become arches, Quixotes multiply, music transforms into acrobatics, reality distorts, and nothing is as it seems. The spirit of Quixote is very much alive and even manages to seduce an unlikely Sancho to accompany him on his journey.
